The anniversary of his i'vlajrsty's Accession was. celebrated - at Worcester on Wednesday last, with as `much loyal enthusiasm as Marked, this interesting occasion in every other part of the,kingdom. The .Mayor and Oorporation held a Meeting in the morn ing, and, unanimously voted an address to his Ma ,4j,evy, expressive of their zeal and attachment. The 4141 or COVENTRY, WhO "was present at this'nieet- . ingi. and sworn in as Recorder of the City, was re quested, to present the address to his Majesty, a ser vice which his Lordship Cordially undertook. The Earl attended the .Mayor and' Corporation to the Cathedral, and after divine service, they adjourned to the Town Hhll, where the subjea of the address was discussed, and unanimously agreed to. A grand dinner then. took place in the Guildhall ;"the Earl of COVENTRY presided in the chair. The Earl ad dressed the.coMpany, on giving his Majesty's health, in a neat and appropriate speech, which was received with the warmest applause. A succession of loyal and - patriotic toasts followed. Lord DEERHURST, the" Earl of COVENTRY'S eldest son Came forward'on -this occasion, and acquitted himself highly to the satisfaction of the company. The whole of the day was marked by the tirmost good humour,, con, viviality, and lOyal enthusiasd. • • . -. AC Chester; an ox, the gift' of John EgertOn, 'Esq. ode of the Representatives of the City, which ' had been slaughtered for the purpose of being roasted 'whole on this occasion, was paraded on "Tesday evening, ready spitted; with horns and • otAil' gilt, and decorated with 'ribbons, through , the ° priticipal - streets of the city. ' The carcase was 'VW:inted on a . - four-wheel carriage, fitted up for tithe- purpose, and drawn by three horses ; behind the beast; . on , the same carriage, rode the butcher, with knife drawn ; thus - the procession proceeded, - accompanied by -a -great concourse of people, to the Tower Field, near the walls of the city,where a build ing had been ereEted for the purpose of roasting him; it consisted of a back and two side walls of brick, betwixt which a grate was inserted, eleven feet lung and five high, and contained an immense quantity of fuel; the fire was lighted at two, and the ox put down to roast at eight o'clock on Tubs '' "day evening ; by . twelve the n ex t d ay , i t was as re IL : - i gularly and well-roast e d as any joint of meat cou ld fiave been done by the most experienced cook'; it - was then taken down„ and run up a, railway, con sisting of two balks, by means of wheels fixed on the ends of the spit, to a large stage in the form , of a table, - elevated about five teet`from the ground— bete the body was carved in grand style ; rumps, rounds; and sirloins, smoaking hot, ..greased the table, and feasted the longing eyes and gaping mouths of thousands. At the same time, four hogs= heads of old beer were brought down to the ground, lnd distributed 'to the multitude; this proved much stronger than the ox, it . knockecVdOwri those who had knocked. down thousands more stubborn than themselv , —the whole, however, was concluded without any disagreeable•tomult or disorder. • Few places evinced more - more - substantial marks ,of loyalty andatredion than the village of Southgate : .? likral subscription was entered into by 'the inha bitants, which was judiciowly expended in furnish ing provisions- to the labouring' class, and providing an entertainment for the chirdren . of the Sunday „§cheol.

CURIOUS HOAX.—Amongst the various. artifices, to which the ingenuity of man resorts, to dispel the ennui whiclfavvaits his vapid hours, may be reckoned the following curious hoax, which was played ••off yesterday, at the house of Mr. Griffiths, a respect• able apothecary, in Bedford -street, Strand, which at. tradied an immense crowd of spectators, and afforded to them Much amusement,. dining the whole of, the. day. The family of Mr. G. are absent from• town, and the house is left, to thecare of .a female servant, wh6 , was - --greatlY -Surprised by the arrival of various good's from tradesmen of all descriptions at each end end of,the town, none of which had been ordered by any of Mr. G.'s family. To enumerate • them, all would be superfluous. Among them, however, were the following :—An immense ` large patent mangle, from tha neighbouthood of Oxford,street . ; :a :great quantity of carpeting, and other articles of household furniture; three waggon-loads of coals';.sotne boxes of candles; an extraordinary large rocking-horse. As the articles arrived, and the bearers. found out their error, they imparted their disappointment to the crowdcolleCted, who enjoyed the joke; which, to crown all,. was heightened by the arrival, , at the liOurOf dinner, of not less than eight post - chaises, froindifferent,parts of he country, of the most par . - ticular friends of the Doator, each petson haying re. ceiyed a special invitation to partake of a Jubilee, at,. tlte, liOetor'S expence ; . their confusion. may be easily imagined, when, to the anxious inquiries they made after the health of the DoCtor, frotri the servant, they learm;that so far frorn.the kitchen chimney smock ing, and the savory viands being ready to serve up, - there was no noEtor at home, nor'any festive board to greet their 'approaches.' They were, of course, reluctantly compelled to return, and the mob gave ,three cheers at tlieir departure. The servant was at len,gth.obliged, in consequence of the fresh arrivals, Of dead and live lumber, to shut the door, and, in spite of repeated knockings, to refuse opening -it, again. These arrivals continued froth an early hoar in the morning, until sable night had set in. It may be easily imagined, that some person, intimately acqdainted with the Dodtor's conneations, was at the • bottom of the hoax. • (ANOTHER ACCOUNT.) Yesterday a most whimsical scene of disappoint ment confusion, and•uproar, took place in Bedford street,. Covent-garden. In consequence ,of orders. sent to almOst every part of the metropolis, and letters addreised to a great number of profes sional gentlemen, in' the name of Mr. Griffiths, Of Bedford -street, his house, No. 37, was beset from an early hour. in the afternoon, until , it was nearly dark, by a - multitude of tradesmen, •applicants, suitors, and visitors of almost e v e ry d escr i pt i on .— It would be difficult, if not.altogether impossible to describe the motley train of persons that sue cessively applied for admission, and so._ corn, terrified the servants, by their constant. knocking, and, in many instances, peretnr;to'. ry demands • to see Mr. Griffiths, who Was out of town, that the door was at last' locked • and bolted„ As the.garrison- would listen to no terms, and would not suffer.even a flag of truce:to Come within the lines, a regular blockade was formed and kept up for a considerable time, the be siegers constantly. receiving fresh reinforcements: The articles brought to the house for the approba tion and purchase of Mr. Griffiths, were of the most heterogeneous kind:---sofas, mirrors; pelisses, boots, shoes, pearls, carpets, hats,-books, sweemeats, tea, colfee, h MS, pickles, sugar, featherbeds, turtle, ready dressed horn the Poultry, soda-water, jellies, piano fortes, fiddles, and flutes,• maps, prints, drawings, &c. tkc.. What rendered the scene more ludicrous, was the appearance of post-chaises, , gigs, saddle horses, coal-waggons, . and organs; all . of 'which • drew up in the closest' possible order near the house. The inhabitants of the street expressed great 'surprise at this extraordinary Medley, and at first: .inquired by what right a fair was to be established iii Bedforthitreet. The , hoax was, however, very shortly discovered, and the eipeaations of those . • who were sent with, or brought their commodi ties and articles for sale or hire, were changed into rage' and indignation, at being so ridi culously duped. The groupe was, 'unquestionably, ,as variegated -as the diversified business and pur suiti of lire could render it. Athong the applicants at No. 37, were physicians,' surgeons ; and under takers, nurses of all kinds, architeas, surveyors, and dancing-masters ; dentists, painters, and fencing masters ; lawyers, musicians, sculptors ; and linguists from almost every part of .the world. The most en raged of all at the disappointment was an old man, who had hobbled to town froln Hanimersmith, to be paid a legacy of 7001. which he was assured Mr. Griffiths had received for him. The Babel-ites at length dispersed, and tranquility was restoredto Bed ford-street. 'The following is a. copy ola letter sent upon this occasion to Mr. Tegg, the Bookseller, of Ctieapside.

The new sown Wheats have had a kindly s'eascin, and planted earlier than usual the Clover leys, hi particular, haVe worked remarkably well for the seed': The potatoe crops in the ground have generally suf fered from the continued wetness of the soil. Th e Turnip Counties have a larger produce of feeci than weitpeOecl, and from the mildness of ttit w e ather,iiiiis still increasing,•, Mark-lane has had a consider** supply of new Wheats, from th e hi g h prices they command; but most of the saniple'S, hitherto seen in'the market being cold, and requiring . a portion of the last .year's grain to be crushed ,them, have considerably enhpnced the price of the latter.. Rape, Mustard, and most other small seeds; are low in, price, and dull in • sale, Barley and Oats rise well from the flail, and both. turn out a good average crop. Beans,. both horse and tick, come freely to market, but the growth of the present year bping soft, the dry ones of the last are much in; , reqt6t.l. Hops,, though little more than half . a a crop, are dull of sale, from the large quantity 'of old pockets and bags on hand, The Hay -market has varied but little from last month's prices. Smit . - field has been amply supplied with .all kinds of meat; at reduced prices, particularly Mutton. The latter 'fairs in the home counties have had large shows of Beasts, which have gone off freely at a further ad vance. Stock-sheep and Lambs are in considerable . demand, and worth more . money. , Horses of the inferior sorts are cheaper, but those of shape and ac tion continue scarce and dean,.
